server forward data to different servers pattern

hi all

i need to develop application that started as smell one but now become bigger the options and conditions it has to handle also are varied

so im looking for more generic way to build it .

here is the high level requirements :

this process will act as a server that will listen for requests from one side do some processing to the data it can be different processing each time and forward it to other server now this other server can be from many kinds and every kind can contains different api i can use and different ways i can invoke its api

( like corba, web services and so on... ) .

what do you think can be implement here to make this more generic?

thanks

If it was me I would start by getting some actual requirements.If the requirement set is "absolutely anything" then there is no way to create a generalized conceptual model. So there is no point in trying.
